I'm afraid I don't have the full picture of the memory model and object
lifetimes in the bindings.

I was trying to mimick what Query.messages() does: it creates msgs_pp
locally. The only reason for self._msgs_p in Thread.collect_tags() is
the way in which tags.ImmutableTagSet() expects the pointer: as an
attribute of self. But maybe there is a better way to call into
capi.lib.notmuch_messages_collect_tags()?
If not, and if I understand you correctly, then I should apply

Thanks for the pointer. Will do for v2, comparing:
set(db.collect_tags('*')) == set(db.tags)
